Notice of Intent To Request Public Comments on Rules and Guides

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of intent to request public comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its systematic review of all current Commission 
regulations and guides, the Federal Trade Commission (``Commission'') 
gives notice that it intends to request public comments on the rules 
and guides listed below during 1996. The Commission will request 
comments on, among other things, the economic impact of, and the 
continuing need for, the rules or guides, possible conflict between the 
rules or guides and state, local, or other federal laws or regulations, 
and the effect on the rules or guides of any technological, economic, 
or other industry changes. No Commission determination on the need for 
or the substance of a rule, regulation, guide, or interpretation, or 
any other procedural option, should be inferred from the intent to 
publish requests for comments. In certain instances the reviews also 
will address other specific matters or issues.

Overall--The reviews scheduled of the HSR rules (Parts 801, 802 and 803) in 1997 are in addition to BC's ongoing review of individual sections of the   
  rules.                                                                                                                                                
Col. III.--Year given is that of Fed. Reg. notice cited in CFR, not necessarily year original or amendment was effective, which may be later.           
Col. IV.--Year given is that of Fed. Reg. notice cited in CFR, not necessarily year effective, which may be later.                                      
Col. V.--``A'' following year indicates rule amended as part of Reg. Flex. review proceeding.                                                           
Col. VII.--The items reviewed in 1995 that are market ``**'' were reviewed during 1995, although previously they were scheduled for review during later 
  years.                                                                                                                                                
Col. VIII.--``utp'' refers to ``unfair trade practice'' and ``cte'' refers to variation of ``capacity, tendency or effect of misleading or deceiving''  
  language used.                                                                                                                                        
Col. X.--For rules and guides in Subchapters B-D, the comments point out those that incorporate or cover issues included in other FTC rules and guides, 
  include metric measurement issues, incorporate or refer to non-FTC standards, or raise health and safety or other issues of interest. The comments    
  specify the rules and guides not scheduled for review at this time.

*The Interpretations, etc., in Part 14 were not published for comment as part of the regulatory review program. The Commission voted to repeal certain  
  sections of Part 14, revise one section, and retain other sections based on quick-look reviews by staff.                                              
**These matters were scheduled for review in later years, but were moved forward by the Commission during 1995.
